At Lake Highlands Elementary School in Dallas, they evidently have brilliant students who learn their lessons so quickly, they have nothing constructive to do. So they've spent hours stacking cups in an attempt to break a world record. You read that right -- they are participating in the highly educational activity of placing plastic cups one atop the other.
And the school hypes this up like it's a source of pride. One student said, "Our school could be legendary." Kids practice at home. There are cups in all the classrooms and gym. The kids chant and cheer as the competition goes on. Gosh -- if only they could be so enthusiastic about reading.
